An MCP server for Quickbase, enabling seamless integration with AI assistants like Claude Desktop.

🔥🔥🔥✓ VerifiedAccount requiredAdvanced setup

⌁ labsco summary — our analysis, not the vendor's

What it is — An MIT-licensed, TypeScript MCP server that connects Claude Desktop and other AI assistants to Quickbase's public APIs for working with low-code app data.

What you get —

Quickbase integration via natural language — query and manage app data (apps, tables, records)
A check_configuration tool to verify your setup, and a one-line dependency check script
Optional caching (QUICKBASE_CACHE_ENABLED) for performance
Easy install via npx -y mcp-quickbase or global npm

Requirements — A Quickbase realm and API token: QUICKBASE_REALM_HOST and QUICKBASE_USER_TOKEN are required, with QUICKBASE_APP_ID optional as a default app. The server starts without them but tools won't work until configured.

Cost snapshot — Server is free and MIT-licensed; Quickbase itself is a paid low-code SaaS, so you need an active Quickbase account and token.

Setup effort — npx -y mcp-quickbase with env in your Claude Desktop config, or build from source.

Our take — A convenient npx-based Quickbase bridge. Important caveat: it's a community project, not an official Quickbase product — provided as-is and not supported by Quickbase, Inc.
